I might have to do that as I don’t want my copy to get ruined. It is too nice. Maybe I’ll stream it going forward.

That’s a good idea, as it has insane replay value, for me anyway. I already listened to it more often than to their last 3 albums combined.

Looks like it is a week off for me! Sarah will be spinning the new Duran Duran though.

I figured she might. I gave it a spin and it was alright. Nothing that will make me spin it again any time soon though. I’ll stick to the Stones for now.

It is a different album for them. She likes it but the vinyl is going for $50 right now… so we are waiting for a price drop.
LikeLiked by 1 person
$50? That is nut! Prices are getting crazy for new albums. Yet, lesser known bands new vinyl is only around $20-25. Why would there be such a difference.

Autopsy, Malokarpatan and Sorcerer are all ones I’ll pick up. Maybe not straight away but before the year is through at least.

W.A.S.P. The 7 Savage vinyl box set arrives tomorrow! That may be it for me for a little while. I’ll stream the new Doro (and maybe some of the others). Thank you for putting together and posting this list week after week.

Nice! I should’ve picked that one up. It looked great. I wonder if it is too late.

I sampled the new Dokken album this morning. It’s probably the best Dokken album without Lynch involved, but that is a very low bar. It does sound like classic Dokken though. The new Gaslight Anthem is really great. That’s in my “to buy” list now. The new Duff Mckagan is pretty good too, although that one may not be new this week.

It is a pretty low bar. But not a Lynch fan anyway so Dokken will get a listen for Lynch Mob.

Icarus Witch is an act I’ve followed for a while.
Dokken, In This Moment and Doro will also get a spin

What year is this? It’s really something how legendary artists & bands keep recycling their old stuff to stay relevant, and also rake in more $$ – Duran Duran, Motley Crue, Nirvana, Simple Minds, Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Prince…

I think I’ll grab the Gaslight Anthem disc. I also found out that Explosions in the sky put out an album in September. I’m happy they both continue making music.
Thanks for the list.

I’m not surprised there is another Crue reissue. I’m guessing there is absolutely nothing new on it. Nikki wrote great songs. I don’t think he wrote a lot, given how strung out he was at the time.

I don’t think there is anything new, to be honest, I didn’t even look.
